Re: Why do we always re-engineer our aircraft??
Webpilot,
Indeed the UK industry was and always has been world class, of that there is no doubt. For a very expensive offshore island coping with withdrawal from Empire the fifties and sixties did indeed see us punching well above our weight, of that we can be very proud, as we can of the state of the industry today, after all the trials and tribulations of political interference, mergers, policy shifts etc to end up with the worlds second largest industry is truly amazing. I am VERY proud of it. Before you start BEagle, I agree that the current state of play is in no way the responsibility of the Labour party or Tony Blair!
